Speaking of WordPress Security

On Tuesday, December the 13th, I will be speaking at the Charleston WordPress User Group meeting. This is part one of a two part session entitled, “Securing WordPress”.

Since WordPress enjoys the position of being one of the most widely used web platforms, it is also one of the most attacked. From installation to operation there are fairly easy, and must-do steps to make sure your site is as secure as possible.

In this two part session, I will cover everything from file permissions and user accounts to script injection and backup procedures to protect your blog from hacking or downtime. The first part of the session will be delivered at this user group meetup, and the second part will be delivered at the February meeting.

For more information, please check out the website of the Charleston WordPress User Group.

The slides from the presentations are posted on SlideShare.

Charleston Apple store to open

The first Apple store in South Carolina is officially scheduled to open this Saturday, July 25th, at 10 am on King Street in Charleston. I can tell you that I for one am extremely excited. I will be there waiting for those doors to open!

Who else is going to be there? And the big question – how early do we need to start lining up? Damn I wish I hadn’t placed my iPhone order last Saturday.
